GEAR RANGES Menu This menu allows the gear ranges to be defined and selected for
programming. Refer to Figure 2.3 for an example of the GEAR RANGES
menu and the paragraphs that follow for parameter explanations.

The two Gear Range Active inputs define which gear range data set is
currently being used for motor control. However, these inputs do not select
the gear range data set that can currently be programmed. The GEAR
RANGES menu is used to select the gear range data set to program.
•
The first character of the first line of the display shows the gear range
data set that is selected as the operating data set.
•
The first character of the second line of the display shows the gear range
data set that has been selected for programming.
Select Range
This parameter allows selection of the gear range data set that is to be
programmed. The programming gear range has two parts - the physical
gear range and the motor winding. If dual winding motors are used, the
parameters must be programmed for both the low and high speed windings
in each gear range.
The physical gear range is shown in character 1, line 2 of the display, with
the motor winding (dual winding motors only) shown in character 2. Dual
winding motors use an L or an H to designate the Low and High speed
windings. The second position will be blank if a motor is not selected or a
single speed motor is being used. A scroll sequence is used to select the
low speed and high speed motor windings for a particular gear range before
advancing to the next gear (i.e. 1L, 1H, 2L, 2H, etc.). With dual winding
motors, only three physical gear ranges can be used since only 6 data sets
are stored.
Possible Choices: 1, 2, 3, 4, 1L, 1H, 2L, 2H, 3L, 3H
